A member asked:
My 60 yo mom has osteoporosis. does she need to take magnesium too along with her daily calcium supplements even if her magnesium blood level is fine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Magnesium is not needed. She should take vitamin D3, about 3000 units/day, in addition to calcium. However, the evidence for the effectiveness of these treatments is not very strong. If she can exercise, she should do weight bearing exercise. Even walking half hour a day will be helpful.
